Mackerel sky

Today I drive again.  My first venture was to the doctor to get blood drawn.  Hardly something to look forward to, but still... I traveled alone, listened to my choice of music.  On the way home I saw the mackerel sky.

Today I determine

When I leave,

When I return home.

The car travels the route

I determine.

Overhead the clouds

Proclaim

Mackerel sky

Mirror fish scales

Out of sight

Swimming

Swimming

In lakes and ponds,

Oceans and seas.

Today I swim

Determine the venue

How I will arrive

How I will leave

Road or stream

I see

Mackerel sky

Mackerel sky

The clouds proclaim

Endless possibility.
